SHIGEMI YASUHARA
 

Born in 1984 in Saitama Prefecture, Japan
Lives and works in Saitama Prefecture, Japan
 

Shigemi Yasuhara (b. 1984 in Aichi, Japan) addresses with solemnity, the most popular subject of Nihonga: nature. Working on a signature butter-yellow background, Yasuhara depicts the branch of a tree, a vine, or a landscape in pitch perfect brush strokes and delicate colors. The paintings are fresh and captivating with the pure joy that nature paintings can offer.
